Did you Know???… About PTSO

Each year the Swift Creek Middle School Parent-Teacher-Student-Organization (SCMS PTSO), a 501(c(3) non-profit, coordinates and supports many activities that benefit the students, teachers, parents and the community. In addition, the SCMS PTSO serves as a resource for assistance to various school programs, including the areas of finances and volunteer assistance. Fundraising and Volunteer efforts utilized to support SCMS impact all Wolves in our Pack. Every donated penny and every volunteered minute count! It is the goal of the 2016 - 2017 SCMS PTSO to support our great SCMS faculty

and administrators in creating an atmosphere to excel at their jobs so our children

can excel at theirs. For 17 consecutive years, SCMS earned the status as an ‘A+’

school and we want this impressive accomplishment to continue!

Children succeed in school at higher levels when parents/families are involved.
